That's ok, you believe what you want to and I will believe what I want to.
The OP's topic at hand is: "Obama amnesty insults all immigrants who waited in line"

Personally, I don't really care if they're here legally or not. There are far too many of them and there are only so many lawns to maintain. They don't contribute much to our society, they refuse to even learn our language, and they tend to abuse the entitlements (such as WIC) that I have no idea why are even available to them.

I actually attended college with some of these immigrants that will benefit from this, I still keep in touch with some and they're excited. Some of them are already planning to apply for internships at law firms and some really high level jobs.
Most of them finished college and got their degree too.
I'm really happy for them

"...data from Los Angeles County officials shows up to $600 million in welfare benefits may have been paid out to illegal immigrants in 2010."
losangeles.cbslocal.com...
"Census Bureau data reveals that most U.S. families headed by illegal immigrants use taxpayer-funded welfare programs on behalf of their American-born anchor babies.Even before the recession, immigrant households with children used welfare programs at consistently higher rates than natives, according to the extensive census data collected and analyzed by a nonpartisanWashington D.C. group dedicated to researching legal and illegal immigration in the U.S."

After reading the reply after reply in this thread from American citizens...I think I know what the problem is.
Some American citizens fear competition from immigrants because they know the immigrants will win hands down in the job market.
The immigrants are more driven, harder working, and in a lot of cases smarter than these American citizens who are bitching and moaning about them. But they can't admit that...because of their American ego...so they just go with that these immigrants are criminals, stupid, and lazy....even though it just isn't true.
These immigrants come here to WORK their asses off to provide a better life for their children. Their children see all their parents have done for them and in turn they WORK their asses off to become successful in this country.
The Americans in this thread that are bitching about these immigrants are just scared because they know they can't compete with them...because in fact they are the lazy ones...they want the job that gives them everything for doing nothing...they want to get paid a ton of money for little work...they aren't willing to sacrafice to give their children a better life...they want it NOW and they want it for THEMSELVES.
Immigrants aren't lazy, they risk their life in most cases just to get here. They'll take a job that gives them little for doing more work in a day than most people do in a week. They just want to get paid a little money to feed their family (regardless if they live here or in another country). They are willing to sacrafice to give their children a better life. They will do without now, so their children and family can have better later.
What we see here is the difference between two types of people, this subgroup of Americans that hate immigrants because they feel ENTITLED to be successful just because they are a citizen. And we have the immigrants who feel DETERMINED to be successful despite if they are a citizen or not.
This is what it all comes down to....and damn....I might just make a thread about it

It doesn't matter which country the legal or illegal immigrants are from. This thread is not about left or right, and is not about individuals or nationality. This is a response to the new deportation waiver policy which is yet another poor direction from Obama, and Holder.
With 20 million that's a couple million more votes. The majority of Hispanics are like blacks, they primarily and blindly vote Democrat because the Democrats will give them money.

It's just another election year gimmick during an election year.

Most people are thinking "Wow, that sounds like a good idea BUT WHY did
Obama wait until June 2012 to trot it out the front door of the White House?"

Looking for votes???
